Valet, hostess and waitress were welcoming, helpful and competent. The food tasted really good and the ambience is a delight. The fish tacos seemed light and they were very flavorful.

Walked in on a Saturday an hour after opening, not busy at all. Waiter was prompt and provided house chips and salsa. I had a jalapeno margarita with chicken/steak fajitas. Fajitas were good. The margarita didn't have much heat, but was delicious. The restaurant has a parking lot that is $7 valet. I left a bit after 2pm, and the crowd had picked up by then.

Walked in and got a table in 20 mins. The food did not disappoint. The service is great and this location was filled with birthday parties. They are known for their fajitas and margaritas! Give it a try if you are in the area. Definitely recommend!

I wasn’t impressed. Food was blend as ever. Like who uncle in the back ? Can’t be Julio lol. Only thing i enjoy was the shrimp wrapped in bacon. So good. That sauce on them was so smoky but sweet. The fish tacos were morning to run home and tell mom about. Season the dam batter please. Ijs. Just like a fish stick in a tortilla and one that wasn’t even warmed. It was so stiff. Had the jalapeño margaritas. It’s was extra as heck. To many seeds i had to keep spitting out. Slice the jalapeños and leave them in full circle. Who puts diced jalapeños on a drink?!! ☹️. I’m straight.

Questions & Answers

Do they have parking

They only have valet parking, $7 for lunch or $10 for dinner. But I recommend parking in the Crate and Barrel parking lot directly across the street for free, walk through the store and go out the other exit that faces Uncle Julio's.

What are the prices like. Sometime you don't get what you paid for.

Desiree Jackson | Jan 6, 2019

Wow! We are a family of 4(2 teens) We went in with open mind bc we are a Hispanic family so whenever we hear "Authentic Cuisine" many times we leave upset with the quality of what is considered to be authentic. We did not have any alcohic beverages, so i cannot comment, but the people drinking around us did have "pretty" beverages brought out. We ordered guacamole , which was made to order. Meaning your server arrives with a cart of onions, tomatoes,etc that you can have added to your likings and it was delicious. The kids had staek fajits and chicken fajitas, the portions were HUGE!, plenty of left overs. The homeade flour and corn tortillas were hot and delish, too. We even managed to save room for the chocolate piñata, which was definitely able to hold alot more fruit than i expected. Our server was great and attentive, our water glasses were never empty. So I will definitely visit again soon and recommend Uncle Julio's to anyone. Clean the atmosphere was pleasant clean restrooms.

Jill Velazquez | May 11, 2020

They have a system at the moment where u pull up to their parking lot and tell them your name or call if no one is outside. There are numbered spots for waiting if needed. They will bring the food to your passenger side.
